In a groundbreaking move that only Square Enix could pull off, we’re getting "The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales"—a new HD-2D RPG that’s set to grace our screens in 2026. Yes, you heard that right. 2026! Just a mere three years away, which is practically tomorrow in the gaming universe, right?

Who needs instant gratification when you can savor the anticipation like a fine wine? And let’s not forget the thrill of seeing pixelated nostalgia dressed up in high definition—a trend that screams "we’re really trying hard here."

Mark your calendars, folks! It’s time to embrace the endless wait for yet another epic adventure that will undoubtedly redefine the genre... for a few

Meta has decided to give its avatars a "high-style" makeover—because nothing screams innovation like a digital face-lift! Forget about addressing privacy concerns or improving user experience; what really matters is whether your avatar can now rock a pair of virtual sunglasses. As if we needed more ways to hide behind a pixelated facade! So, get ready to strut your stuff in the metaverse with a fresh look that’s sure to distract from any actual substance. After all, who needs meaningful interactions when you can have a stylish avatar?

The Hacker Pager is part of the Meshtastic project. It’s got open source software and some features that might interest the hacker crowd, I guess. Not sure how exciting it really is, though. Just another gadget in the long list of things we probably don’t need.

Adobe is launching this surreal AI video campaign and wants you to edit its unfinished film. It's like they want us to bring some creativity into a project that’s already kind of there but not really. Not sure what exactly to add, but I guess it could be fun—or maybe just another task to put off. Anyway, if you feel like diving into the whole editing thing, go for it. Just another day in the world of digital art, I guess.

Can we talk about the absolute absurdity of Nintendo's marketing strategy? After all the hype surrounding the Switch 2, we finally get a partner showcase on July 31, but is anyone else utterly fed up with this game of waiting? The first Nintendo Direct of the Switch 2 era should have been a grand spectacle, not a half-hearted attempt to keep us hanging on by a thread.

It’s infuriating how they dangle these breadcrumbs while we, the loyal fans, are left in the dark about what really matters. This type of communication is nothing but disrespectful to a community that has supported them through thick and thin. They need to step up and deliver real content instead of vague announcements. Enough is enough, Nintendo!

So, apparently, your nighttime breathing can tell you a lot about your health. Sleep apnea, which used to be just snoring, is now seen as a potential early warning for serious stuff like Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and even depression. Kinda makes you think twice about those noisy nights, I guess. But honestly, who really wants to think about that? Just another thing to add to the worry list, right?

Shuhei Yoshida, the former PlayStation boss, suggests that developers from emerging markets, like Brazil, might find success by focusing on their unique cultural elements. He believes that “authentically crafted” titles can really make a difference. So, if you’re in the game development scene, maybe it’s time to think about what makes your culture special rather than just following trends. Not that anyone’s really excited about it, but it could be worth a shot.

Vogue's AI ad is making waves, but honestly, it feels like just another issue we’ll all get tired of soon. The hype around it seems excessive, and it’s hard to shake the feeling that it’s the beginning of the end for genuine creativity. We’re left wondering if this is a sign of something worse to come. Anyway, who really cares at this point?

Mario Paint is now available on Nintendo Switch Online, and it supports mouse mode on Switch 2. That's nice, I guess. The Gamecube was just added, but this feels a bit underwhelming. Not sure if anyone is really excited about painting on their console anyway.

Just another day in the gaming world, I suppose.

Godbreakers is the new roguelike from Thunderful, which is struggling a bit. It's set to come out on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC later this year. Seems like it has some ideas, but really, it has a lot to prove. Thunderful just got bought by Atari, and they're dealing with layoffs. So, yeah, not super exciting. We’ll see if it can break the cycle of underwhelming games.
